Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Now colleges from sea to sea
May sing of colors true
But who has better right than we
To hoist a symbol hue?
For sailors brave in battle fair
Since fighting days of old
Have proved the sailor’s right to wear
The Navy Blue and Gold - So hoist our colors, hoist them high
And vow allegiance true
So long as sunset gilds the sky
Above the ocean’s blue
Just let us live the life we love
And with our voyage through
May we all muster up above
A-wearing Navy Blue - Four years together by the Bay
Whеre Severn joins thе tide
Then by the Service called away
We’ve scattered far and wide
But still when two or three shall meet
And old tales be retold
From low to highest in the Fleet
We’ll pledge the Blue and Gold
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
